Well, it looks like they got most of the original choreo, at least from the stills.
Now if they could only do the set and costumes better.  Costumes weren't *bad*, but they could have looked a bit slicker.

They look okay, as far as non-pro goes!
Littlgriz; to me, he just looks kinda... brown :S |

I think a woman is playing Tugger, unless it's a very young man. | ||

Funny, I don't remember the SunTrust Bank logo appearing on the CATS set before!  Maybe they'll change the song verse from Russell Hotel to Sun Trust Bank? I guess product placements have made it to the stage as well. 
Other than that, the costumes do look pretty good. Haven't heard yet of any group in Atlanta that wants to do it. Hope...hope...hope...

My sister used to be a regional VP for SunTrust. I *think* Memphis is their HQ. Not sure though. If it is, that would explain the logo in the set. After all, the article did say that the production team set it in the Memphis area. The costumes could have been better. THANK GOD it wasn't a Marc Robin production though. That dude should have a court order keeping him at least 100 yards from anything remotely resembling Cats or dancers of any sort, including those annoying-ass hamster toys that sing "Kung Fu Fighters" in a crack speed soprano.

Their wigs just don't look right to me...they look like brightly colored mop-heads. The makeup isn't bad, though, and the rest of the costumes are okay. |
